Welcome back to a lil' random Publix haul this week. I've been avoiding Publix like the plague lately because every time I step foot in there, I always end up impulse buying fifty bucks worth of snacks and only one or two actual "food I can cook" items. They always get me with those d*mn BOGOs... iykyk I guess. That's pretty much what happened this week too- they lured me back in with false promises of a party size bag of Wavy Lays chips. Despite the chip devastation, I didn't leave empty handed (listen to me talking like I ever have, LOL), so in the hopes of one day earning back my $33 in ad revenue, here's a little haulie haul for ya. 😜
I did actually go in with a list this time which helped me buy more actual food and just a few snackies. This week's BOGOs had some Italian vibes going which we always love. I love the Buitoni fresh pastas so I always grab a few of them whenever on sale. I was also feeling a Carbone spicy rigatoni vibe so I grabbed some rigatoni pasta and this Spicy Vodka sauce from Botticelli. Also for whatever reason, I always want to buy Ricotta cheese whenever they put it on BOGO?? I never actually buy it but I always have grand envisions of using it in a recipe. What recipe that will be is up in the air right now but for once I actually bought some, haha. During the winter I wanted to try out a lasagna soup but this hot weather kind of kills my soup mood.
The last few things were some protein staples and green beans. I also indulged a bit with some ice cream and these Cinnabon swirl masterpieces. I couldn't resist, ya'll. I've wanted to try them before and because they are *only* 270 calories versus like 800, I figured why the hell not? Sounds like a nice little weekend breakfast treat, lol. We'll see if they're any good! I also have a long term love affair going with the Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Bean. It's exceptionally good and definitely the best in the game that I've tried. You can usually find it on BOGO every couple of weeks so I like to grab a pint every so often. Delish!
